Obama-appointed Judge will not allow Clinton’s tweets to be admitted in Sussmann trial
April 28, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper ruled on Wednesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s tweets that blatantly promoted Trump-Russia collusion claims will not be allowed as evidence in the trial of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Cooper, who is an appointee of former President Barack Obama, denied the tweets as evidence, stating that “the court will exclude that as hearsay” and that “it’s likely duplicative of other evidence” in connection to demonstrating the attorney-client relationship, according to the Washington Examiner.
“Donald Trump has a secret server … It was set up to communicate privately with a Putin-tied Russian bank,” Clinton tweeted on Halloween 2016.
Special Counsel John Durham attempted to submit that tweet as evidence against Sussmann in his upcoming trial but the judge shot it down.
